TINNERS FIRE-POT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 307,368, dated October 28, 1884.

Application filed January 23, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY CALVIN WINE- BRENNER, of the city of Baltimore and State of Maryland, have invented certain Improvements in Tinners Fire-Pots, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain improvements in that class of tinners fire-pots in which the soldering-tools are heated by the combustion of hydrocarbon vapor, the vapor being generated by heat transmitted or conducted to the fluid from the burner, as will hereinafter fully appear. 1

In the description which follows reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, and in which- Figure I is a front elevation, partly in section, of the improved apparatus. Fig. II is a plan of the same, also partly in section.

A is the fire-pot proper, in which the soldering-tools to be heated are placed.

B is an ordinary pipe-fitters T, to which is connected the fluid-supply pipe 0.

D is a globe-valve to control the flow of fluid to the pipe 0.

E is the burner, which consists simply of a screw-plug, 0, having a conical hole, I), the discharge end of which is of such size as will admit of the escape to the fire-pot of the required volume of vapor.

F is an imperforate plug screwed into the T, which is removed when the hole I) is to be cleaned out. The screw-plug F is, however, not essential to the operation of the burner; consequently an L may be employed instead of the T.

G is a third plug, screwed or merely driven in the pipe 0, and extending partially within the T. This plug has a longitudinal perforation, 0, to admit fluid to the T, and its size is such as will allow a very limited quantity of vapor to pass to the burner. The perforation is preferably formed by cutting a V-groove in one side of the plug, as shown in the drawings. The size of the exit-aperture in the burner and that of the opening in the plug G being fixed, the flame is regulated entirely by the globe-valve D.

It will be seen that in my invention I have dispensed with the ordinary needle-valve and 50 the packing which must be used with a valve in contact with vapor of hydrocarbon to prevent its escape.

I am aware that vapor-stoves for heating soldering-irons have been constructed with the pipe which conveys fluidto the burner entering through the side of the stove, and bent in such shape that the burner is directly underneath a portion of the supply-pipe, in order that the fluid in passing to the burner may be vaporized, and such construction I disclaim.

I claim as my invention The burner E and plug F, mounted in the pipe fitting B, combined with the pipe C, channeled plug G, globe-valve D, and fire-pot A, substantially as set forth.
